Default need some good advice on boosting

i bought a complete turbo setup from a guy off his 94 teg.it came with 450 injectors and his ecu which had already been chipped on chrome.my 91 teg is obdo,his is obd1.my first question is should i convert to obd1 and use the pre-chipped ecu,or have my obdo chipped.and if i go obd1, could i get away with running it without getting it tunned for a while(assuming it runs generaly ok) my next issue is with my engine.i,ve pulled the head,got a cometic head gasket,an arp head bolts,timing n water pump n all,new oil seals all the way around.the head is going to the machine shop monday (any recomends on a good shop around/close to ports.) outher than cleaning n resurfacing ,any thing alse i should have done?? and last,the system was set on 10 lbs,he said his engine was all stock,will my engine be ok with out any internal upgrades?what should i be watchfull for as far as engine problems after i install??

With the new head gasket ( i'm guessing it's thicker than stock ) and the head studs you should be fine running 10 pounds. As for the obd1 to run that ecu you will need to get an obd1 dizzy, dizzy harness, and harness to plug up the ecu.

How is the head going to a machine shop monday if it's sunday and you still don't know who you are going to?

Those vtec wires come off with the pigtail, they are already separate and non frayed so you could just bundle them together and tuck them away safely.

I see that you are new. Give it some more time and your opinion will change about this site.

I would not run your setup untuned. If you do you are asking for problems.
